Genabackis - Malazan

Wonder if something like this would help? Just fading an edge into some connective land.
Feels like it'd blend more. (I just used the clone stamp for a quick mockup.)

Right now they're more mesa-esque, this way it feels like an extension of the Steppes.

Also, this kinda mimics what you do with your mountains, which I really like.

Felt I should have updated a little more before posting so here is another shot. Haven't touched the water yet.

Map is looking really good. I like your color palette for the map, nice and subtle. It's refreshing to see a nicer quality version of this map than what you normally find in the books

I hear you. I struggled with the Plateaus. I tried what you suggested earlier, but I felt it wasn't consistent with the original maps. I think I should just redraw the shapes completely.

Thanks for taking the time to provide the suggestion!

Hi All, here is some more progress. I added some icons for cities, forts, etc. There are mistakes here and there, but it is coming along.

As I already told you (in another thread, I think), Malazan is my absolute favorite fantasy work. I have often considered using Erikson's setting for a pen&paper rpg. This map really makes me want to do it again. So yeah, well done! It might even trigger a reread of the whole work...thank you very much

Great looking map, love the palette for this map. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Eilathen. I too really love the Malazan world. I would love to see a Malazan RPG. Character classes would be awesome. It should be fun to work on that.

Do you ever check out the MalazanEmpire forum?

Also, l've appreciated the feedback you've given.

I'm almost done with the map for now. I just need update the Info panel.
